Meatball Subs (Revisited)

Over 50 people were at my Purim bash this year. The room was buzzing with joy and talk about my amazing meatball subs.

“Tzvi, how did you do it? They are even better then last years!”

Yes it is true, I’ve done the impossible and improved upon my famous, although not-so-secret meatball subs.

The two major changes were:

1. On the advice of my mother, I used matzo meal instead of breadcrumbs. The meatballs stuck together perfectly – many commented about how smooth and round they were (last year’s meatballs fell apart and there was a lot of “meat sauce” at the bottom of the pot).
2. I splurged and didn’t use the super cheap ground beef. The extra lean made all the difference in the world – there wasn’t a three-inch layer of grease along the top and no one got sick or woozy from it.

Rumor has it that my meatball recipe is going to be published in the Boston Torah Academy cookbook. Contact the school, pre-order one for yourself and extra copies for friends and family, and let them know that the meatball subs are your main inspiration for ordering. It will help the school and I am sure some of the other recipes in there will be good too.
